"No, no, don't come any closer!!"

Baron staggered backward, his face contorted with terror. "I told you not to come any closer!! Fur Hell!"

His body hair grew out and surged towards the enemy in front of him like a tidal wave.

Baron's attack was met with a burst of white mist from his opponent.

They gathered into a ball and floated lightly over the downy sea tide.

Then something interesting happened: all the fur froze, and a layer of frost covered its surface.

"Damn it!"

Baron roared, trying to drive the hairs.

However, the hairs broke off directly.

The dense hair on his body had been frozen into countless ice needles, which would break at the slightest touch.

His abilities were completely useless now; even covering his hair with Haki was futile.

What kind of monster is this brat?!

"Your Haki is too weak; this level of attack can't even freeze Sirius."

Yamato, already in werewolf mode, slowly approached, wielding Spiked Club.

When his abilities fail him, Baron, with a bounty of over 200 million, becomes quite vulnerable.

He was no match for Yamato and panting heavily, and he no longer had the will to fight against Yamato.

Just then, a huge Black Wolf appeared nearby and slapped Morgan, who was trying to shake a tree, into the ground.

The battlefield was completely destroyed in an instant.

Baron nearly went crazy upon witnessing this. "What, what kind of joke is this?! That Morgan —that Morgan— "

How could the invincible Morgan have been defeated?

These little devils--

He didn't have time to waste any more words. Yamato leaped up, his Spiked Club spinning in his hand, "Ice Sever!"

The Spiked Club, imbued with powerful Haki and freezing cold, slammed directly onto Baron's head.

First, he was frozen by ice, and then his head was deformed by being hit with an iron bar.

Baron was smashed so hard that he was buried in the ground, creating a huge hole in the ground.

He probably wouldn't be able to speak anymore, since the top of his head had caved in, and his neck had sunk into his chest cavity.

It has indeed been completely flattened.

"It's over!"

Yamato happily waved his Spiked Club and ran towards Sirius with a grin, "Sirius, shall I finish this fight first?"

Sirius, now Giant Wolf, slowly raised his paws, which were already deeply embedded in the ground.

As he pulled out his claws, the ground lost its footing and continued to crumble.

Sirius grabbed Morgan and pulled him out; otherwise, the guy would have been buried alive.

Yes, buried alive.

He survived the blow from Sirius.

The situation was already very bad.

His limbs were twisted, his chest was sunken, and his head was a bloody mess, making it impossible to recognize what he used to look like.

He survived his merciless attack?

Sirius couldn't help but marvel at the vibrant vitality of the people in this world.

The commotion naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding pirates.

So when they see this situation--

"Captain Morgan... Captain Morgan has been defeated!!"

"Are you kidding me? It was just one hit!!"

"First Mate Baron has also been defeated!"

"Who the hell are these guys?!"

Panic, an indescribable sense of terror, spread through the hearts of the pirates.

But these guys aren't the main focus.

Sirius reverted to his human form, walked up to Morgan, and looked down at him.

The sword in my hand.

Even in this state, this guy still gripped his sword tightly.

It certainly looks like his treasure.

But now.

"It's mine now."

Sirius snatched the sword from Morgan's hand, swung it a couple of times, and thought, "Hmm, a bit too light."

But it looks quite nice.

The hilt and guard are adorned with gemstones, and the blade is sea blue with gentle, wave-like ripples, making it a truly beautiful sword.

I ran my hand lightly across the blade; it was very sharp and tough, much better than the mass-produced ones from Onigashima.

That's good, this will be my sword from now on.

Sirius nodded in satisfaction. "Let's use this as a temporary measure until his own sword is forged."

"Sirius!"

Yamato pounced from behind, grabbed Sirius by the neck and shook him around, grinning as he said, "This time I'm faster!"

"Yes, yes, Princess Yamato is the strongest!"

Sirius a perfunctory reply.

Actually, he was faster; his palm struck down a few seconds before Yamato's iron bar.

But it doesn't really matter, does it?

He kicked Morgan on the ground. "Are you dead? What's the name of this sword?"

Morgan mangled and bloodied, struggled to open his eyes. One eye had exploded, but thankfully the other was still intact. His eyeball remained almost motionless until, after a long while, it moved slightly, its gaze settling on Sirius's face.

His chapped lips trembled slightly.

But Sirius couldn't hear what he was saying at all. Well, his neck was broken, so he probably couldn't speak anyway.

"I see."

Sirius realized this; it seemed he wouldn't be able to get the sword's name from him. But that didn't matter; he could just choose one himself.

He thought for a moment, then said, "Let's call it Azure."

The Azure Greatsword's name comes from an old novel that Sirius read while lying in a hospital bed in his previous life. The name and the blue greatsword are quite a good match.

"Oh! Sirius, was this seized from this guy?"

Yamato noticed the greatsword in Sirius's hand, released Sirius, and exclaimed with admiration, "So beautiful!"

"Right?"

Sirius an eyebrow triumphantly, "From today onwards, this sword's name is: The Beautiful Sword, Azure!"

"Pfft—what an awful name!" Yamato chuckled. "Sirius, you have absolutely no talent for naming things."

Sirius rolled his eyes. "You have the nerve to say that."

The guy who named his Spiked Club "Aken"!

But now is not the time. Sirius looked up and suddenly shouted at the sky, "Teacher King! Is the exam over now?"

"Huh? Is Uncle King here?" Yamato belatedly looked up, his big eyes searching for Teacher King's whereabouts in the sky.

She discovered it very quickly.

A black dot in the sky is rapidly approaching and gradually growing larger.

Soon, the all-black-clad Teacher King descended from the sky and landed beside Sirius and the other two.

He glanced at Sirius. "Not bad Observation Haki."

Sirius laughed heartily, "It's all thanks to the teacher's excellent teaching."

Sirius is more skilled in Observation Haki than Armament Haki.

Of course, he can't foresee the Future Sight yet, but his Observation Haki has a wide range, and he is especially good at distinguishing auras.

Sirius was adept at using Observation Haki to distinguish the varying strengths of different people's auras.

From the very beginning, Sirius knew that Teacher King had always been following them.

He didn't know whether it was to protect them or to monitor them.

As Morgan lay on the ground, his breath growing weaker, his last remaining eye wide open.

The surrounding pirates were equally astonished.

Jack and Maria's slaughter wasn't very efficient; there are still several hundred pirates left, and some of them will surely recognize Teacher King.

"This guy is... King, the Flame Calamity, a top officer of the Beasts Pirates!!"

The voice was tinged with despair.

Starting about a year ago, the three most fearsome pirate groups in the New World began expanding using their own methods.

During this period, the Flame Calamity Inferno destroyed countless pirate crews.

It's genuine, a monster-like product!

So these guys are from the Beasts Pirates?

Morgan's cloudy eyes also revealed a look of astonishment.

So, it's not Charlotte Big Mom, but Kaido?

But it doesn't matter anyway.

His pupils gradually dilated, eventually losing all their luster.

"If you don't want to die, kneel down."

As soon as Teacher King said that, the flames behind his head suddenly began to expand, transforming into a massive wave that surged into the sky, igniting half of the sky with flames!

That's an exaggeration.

Sirius watched this scene with astonishment.

The Lunarian Tribe is indeed a blessed race, worthy of being once called a god-like group. Their ability to control fire alone would make even Devil Fruit User weep in despair.

Not to mention her impervious defense, almost on par with Charlotte Big Mom's.

With their captain and First Mate both killed, and an even more terrifying monster appearing, what choices do the Morgan Pirates have left?

"We surrender! We surrender!"

The remaining pirates laid down their weapons and obediently knelt on the ground, daring not to resist any longer.

"That's it?"

Jack walked this way, wiping the blood from his face.

"What, still not enough?" Sirius asked with a smile.

"They're just a bunch of scum anyway," Jack replied casually.

Sirius smiled.

He didn't see anything wrong with it. After all, fighting between pirates was the most common thing. If you didn't kill him, he would kill you.

Sirius turned to Teacher King and asked, "So, Teacher King, does that mean we passed the assessment?"

"Certainly."

Jin nodded; he now understood why Mr. Kaido had brought these kids along with him.

A large part of the reason is because of the power of these little devils!

Especially those two brats!

Jin lowered his head, gazing at Sirius and Yamato.

These two kids are strong enough to be officers of the Beasts Pirates!

Especially that kid Sirius!

He's a real monster!

"Yay!"

Yamato cheered happily, "I passed the test! Now I don't have to go back!"

Ignoring Yamato's cheers, Teacher King looked at Sirius and asked, "Why change the strategy? According to your original plan, the process should have been even simpler."

Sirius smiled and answered directly, "There's no particular reason, I just simply don't like these people."

Teacher King snorted coldly, "If you still cling to pointless sympathy and a sense of justice, then don't call yourself a pirate!"

"What are you saying, Teacher King?"

Sirius chuckled and retorted, "Aren't pirates just the freest people on the high seas? Freedom is doing whatever you want, isn't it?"

"That's right."

Yamato agreed, "We can do whatever we want, and we won't do anything we don't want to do! That's what pirates are all about!"

Sirius and Yamato exchanged a smile.

Such freedom is disorderly, chaotic, and uncontrollable.

But Sirius is a pirate.

Pirates don't care about all that.

Do whatever you want.

Only you can control yourself, so go with the wind!

"By the way, Teacher King,"

Sirius seemed to remember something and asked, "What are Teacher Kaido's plans for this island?"

Jin gave Sirius a deep look. "I think Morgan did a good job."

Thanks to the boss 'Attack Wizard' for the huge reward of 200 points, to the boss 'Injury to M1N9' for the huge reward of 1,000 points, and to the boss 'Little Devil_' for the huge reward of 1,600 points!
